I’m trying to handle a streamed response from an API using Axios, and I need help in figuring out how to parse the streamed data into JSON chunks. I came across this code, but it’s not mine, and I’m trying to understand how others might solve this problem or approach a similar situation.

Here’s the code for reference:

  const res = await axiosInstance.get('/products', { responseType: 'stream' });
  return res.data
    .split('data:')
    .map((dataChunk: string) => {
      try {
        if (dataChunk == '') return null;
        return JSON.parse(dataChunk);
      } catch (err) {
        console.error('Could not parse JSON: ' + err);
      }
    })
    .filter((data?: JSON) => data !== null);
}
